Dhoni is playing his 300th ODI today. India is playing Sri Lanka in Colombo. India has already won the series; the score is currently 3-0 in the five-match series. The match however is proving to be a statistician's delight, when it comes to Dhoni. Apart from the fact that this will be his 300th one-day international, Dhoni is also one stumping away from the 100 mark in ODIs. Should he get there, he will have set a new world record.
